I know my shipping charges may seem pricey. I've tried sending by media mail in the past, but that takes forever and I've been busted several times by the USPS...media mail cannot contain advertising, so I am no longer offering this as a shipping option. First Class mail is not much better, a large manila envelope with a magazine enclosed runs about a pound +/-. I've had several of these arrive damaged to say the least. You can add in the weight of a cardboard stiffener and before you know it, you're cents away from a Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope. The Flat Rate Priority Mail envelopes and boxes seem to receive TLC from the USPS...they are very sturdy and because they are flat rate, I shove in as much cardboard stiffeners and packaging material as I can to protect your purchase. If you win more magazines, your shipping costs drop DRAMATICALLY. I'm all about shipping your purchase in the safest manner possible and I feel that Flat Rate Priority Mail achieves the best option for our mutual satisfaction. Sorry, USPS shipping rates went up May 12th, 2008.
Flat Rate Priority Envelope Mail: $4.85 + $0.65 for required Delivery Confirmation. I can safely fit 2 magazines into a Flat Rate Priority Envelope, so the second magazine is free shipping. A Flat Rate Priority Box will hold about 12 magazines: $10.00 + $0.65 for required Delivery Confirmation. The new Large Flat Rate Priority Boxes will hold about 20 magazines: $14.35 + $0.65 for required Delivery Confirmation.
Optional USPS insurance is $1.70 up to a $50.00 value, $2.15 to $100, $2.60 to $200, $4.60 to $300, etc…you’re on your own if you don’t take it.
International Shipping is $13.00 for up to two magazines per Flat Rate Envelope et $40.00 for a Flat Rate Box and $55.00 for a Large Flat Rate Box up to 20 pounds. I can offer international buyers with the option of paying for any certified delivery or return receipt service upon request.
I WILL NOT be held responsible for America hating Communist Socialist Muslim Islamo-Fascist postal workers in foreign countries. All of my listings are honest and sent from the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave. Live Free or Die!
I'm going to warn you right now...if you are in a foreign country that is not friendly to the United States of America or our USPS, and additional postal charges are required to satisfy your dictator du jour, you must pay these charges up front prior to shipping!
